Overview

The
HP StorageWorks Ultrium 920 Tape Drive is the highest capacity, fastest
performance half-height tape drive in the StorageWorks family based on HP's
third generation LTO technology. The Ultrium 920 delivers a compressed
storage capacity of 800GB per data cartridge and a compressed data transfer
rate of 432GB per hour, two and a half times faster than the previous
generation Ultrium 448 tape drive. Multiple drive models are available for
the compact, half-height Ultrium 920 Tape Drive including internal,
external, and 1U rack-mount model. The Ultrium 920 Tape Drive is fully read
and write compatible with all second-generation Ultrium media and offers
further investment protection through its backward-read compatibility with
first-generation Ultrium media.

The Ultrium 920 Tape Drive supports the
industry's most comprehensive list of compatible hardware and software
platforms, including support for both HP and non-HP servers and
workstations. Each drive model includes a single HP Ultrium 800GB data
cartridge as well as all required mounting and cabling hardware for easy
integration into entry-level and midrange servers. Available in both SCSI
and SAS models, the Ultrium 920 is ideal for midrange and departmental
servers.
